Excellent. This is working great. I added the start command to close the command window after opening VMG. start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Virtual Magnifying Glass\magnifier.exe" –docked Thanks again Nikolaos – so much appreciated.

Hi Steven, With this new file i attach, you can run the docked glass from you batch file by simply putting -docked after the name of the file. So, if you have installed it, the batch file should change to: "c:\Program Files (x86)\Virtual Magnifying Glass\magnifier.exe" -docked Please tell me if that works.
-
Nikolaos, I think I may have been a little unclear with my previous message. Currently, when I open VMG the magnifying window automatically appears. The docked glass does not appear until I press Ctrl-Alt-G to display it. What I was hoping for is some way that when I run my batch file routine to open VMG I only want to automatically see the docked glass and not see the magnifying window. Sorry, Steve From: bugs@magnifier.p.re.sourceforge.net [mailto:bugs@magnifier.p.re.sourceforge.net] On Behalf...

Excellent. This is working much better Nikolaos. I decreased the width by about 50 pixels; the height was fine. I placed the docked glass directly above Spotify song’s timestamp which works great. One other question if you please. I assume this is possible but what I’m looking for is a way that when VMG opens the magnifying window does not appear; the docked glass automatically appears. I currently have to press the Escape key to close the magnifying window, then press Ctrl-Alt-G to display the docked...

Hi Steven, When you select the bookmark mode for the docked glass, you must go the mouse to the position you want to magnify and press Control + Alt + B to update the bookmark position. You have to do it only once, not every time. In the options dialog you can change this bookmark hotkey. Are you sure you are doing this? No, it is not possible to place the docked glass above the position you want to enlarge. This is what dynamic mode should do, but dynamic mode does not work. What i would suggest...
-
Thank you Nikolaos for getting back to me. This is working better but I still have some questions if you please. I am having a problem assigning a static location for the point of magnification. When I turn off Follow Mouse and select Bookmark I cannot get the point of magnification to remain. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong. Could you explain that a bit more? Is it possible to place the Docked Glass directly over the point you want magnified? In my task, I’m trying to magnify the song time stamp...
-
I attach a file, extract and install it. Make all the settings that you have already done. Additionally in the configurations dialog, in the docked glass page: select cursor to None and mode to bookmark. You can also select the hot key to update your bookmark's position. Go the mouse to the position you want and press the hotkey. Now, the glass enlarges only this position. You don't have to do it again. It remembers it every time you start the application. After this you only need to press the hot...
-
That would be great. Like I said, I don’t expect you to spend too much time on this. If it is somewhat easy, that would be great; if it starts to become a chore, please simply pass – I will understand.

Hi Steven, This is exactly what i thought you would prefer. The docked glass not following the mouse but enlarging only a specific place of the screen. I can implement this. I will also look how small the docked glass can be made. I will come back with a version of the program with these improvements. This is not so difficult to do. We can tailor this to your preferences.
-
Thank you so very much Nikolaos for getting back to me. I’m not quite sure what you are saying but I did try some of your suggestions. However, not being very familiar with all the VMG options I may be doing something wrong. Here is what I did: Unchecked (Removed) “Dynamic Mode” Clicked “Show Magnifying Glass” Pressed Ctrl-Alt-G to display “Docked Glass” Changed the size of the magnifying glass. I tried to make it as small as possible. It still is larger than the size I had under Dynamic Mode (Width=...
-
I am not the writer of this application, but i have contributed some code to it, so i think i can help. First of all the code that handles dynamic mode was written very long ago. I am not an expert but i think that microsoft has added some features to the way windows are handled. When applications update their code to take advantage of these new features makes the dynamic mode of virtual magnifying glass stop working. However, there is a workaround to get the feature you want. You can use the docked...

Just installed latest VMG. When I try to run it, I get: john@JohnDesktop:~/Software/VirtualMagnifyingGlass$ /usr/bin/mag -r mag (ps2pk) version 1.8 Usage: mag [-r] [-Rdpi] size . . . What do these parameters mean? What is a reasonable invoking command?

Hi. I use VMG 3.71 with Ubuntu-based Linux. When I click on the box on the taskbar to invoke VMG, a menu drops down with many options. The first is "Show Magnifying Glass." Up comes the frame of the magnifying glass. But the menu doesn't go away. It lies atop some of the text I'm trying to read. Is there some way to fix this? I love VMG, and previous versions didn't act this way. Thanks.

Hello, I am sitting in front of my smart tv and use it for various things (preferably gaming), i do also have a computermonitor connected to my pc that stands about four meter away, on this monitor i use apps like backuppers and i want to monitor the progress but i cannot see the progress because it is to far away. I am looking for a fixed magnifier and if it would be possible a magnifier that can show a window (only a small part) on my smart tv from the computermonitor, i can't find any software...

Hello, I just downloaded VMC on my Thinkpad Yoga Carbon running Windows 10. The download seemed to go fine however when I click on the VMG icon not only does it open the magnifier as it should (about a 1"x2"window) but it also magnifies the entire desktop. Is there someway to open VMC without magnifing the surrounding desktop? Thanks

Hello, Do you receive e-mails sent here? I don't have a Windows machine right now, but the problem is probably due to the configuration file. You have to find it. Search these pathes: C:\Documents and Settings_MY_USER_\Application Data\magnifier.ini or C:\Program Files\Virtual Magnifying Glass\magnifier.ini I would try to: 1> Uninstall 2> Delete both configuration files 3> Install again please let me know if this solution works for you. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho

I discovered the classic version works only when I right click the desktop icon and select "Run as Administrator" and then click "Yes" to allowing the appt to make changes to my computer. This is inconvenient. I still would like only to have to click the icon in my Taskbar and have the app open in Classic mode. Still need help. Thanks.

Old Faithful posted a comment on discussion Magnifier Forum
I realize this is a really old thread but I cant find a solution to this either. I believe enrique really meant was to SHOW THE CURSOR ON THE ACTUAL AREA MAGNIFIED to see what is magnified. Ive installed the utility for my mother and she cant use it because this crucial feature is missing: either you see the magnified text and not what is magnified, or the actaul screen. Hoped for behaviour would be to show the magnified part on the SIDE of the actual mouse or cursor position. You know, like a baloon...
